TL;DR: In this paper, the use of damping torque technique to examine the efficacy of various control signals for reactive power modulation of a midpoint-located static VAr system (SVS) in enhancing the power transfer capability of long transmission lines is considered.
Abstract: The use of a damping torque technique to examine the efficacy of various control signals, for reactive power modulation of a midpoint-located static VAr system (SVS) in enhancing the power transfer capability of long transmission lines is considered. A new auxiliary signal, the computed internal frequency (CIF), is proposed which synthesizes the internal voltage frequency of the remote generator from electrical measurements at the SVS bus. It is demonstrated that this signal is far superior to other conventional auxiliary control signals in that it allows full utilization of the network transmission capacity. The damping torque results are correlated with those obtained from eigenvalue analysis. >
